Residents of the mountainous village of Antia, on the idyllic island of Evia, Greece “speak” a unique whistling language called “Sfyria.”

The villagers of Antia use different whistled tones corresponding to a letter of the alphabet. By putting each whistled note in order, they form words.

In this way, they can talk and understand each other simply by whistling. Children learn the language at the age of 5 or 6.

The interesting custom — which also appears in the nearby villages of Simikouki and Evangelismos as well — dates back to the times of ancient Greece.

Since Orbán’s hard-right nationalist Fidesz party won the 2010 general election with a two-thirds supermajority, parliament has been turned into a rubber stamp, ratifying any regressive law Fidesz and its far-right coalition partners cook up.

Fidesz’s rule is synonymous with the demonisation of Orbán’s political enemies, attacks on workers’ conditions and ability to organise, and a heightening of racist propaganda and acts of violence, which reached a peak during the migrant crisis of 2015-16. Progressive forces have been marginalised while far-right political organisations such as Jobbik, now the second-largest party in Hungarian parliament, have benefited.

At the end of March, the authoritarian trend escalated with the passing of the Coronavirus Act, a law with no expiration date and which allows Orbán to rule by decree. Disturbingly, anyone caught publishing “false information” about the coronavirus – including criticising the government’s measures in handling the pandemic – can be jailed for up to five years.
